Can You Sell Broken or Scrap Gold on the Gold Coast?

By James Patten, EasyGold

Yes, you can still sell broken gold, scrap gold, old jewellery, coins, dental gold and unwanted gold items. Even if your jewellery is damaged, tangled, missing stones or no longer wearable, the gold itself can still hold real value.

At EasyGold, we help customers across the Gold Coast, Australia safely turn unwanted gold into cash with a simple, transparent process.

What Counts as Scrap Gold?

Scrap gold can include:

  • Broken gold chains and bracelets

  • Single earrings or damaged rings

  • Old jewellery you no longer wear

  • Gold coins

  • Dental gold

  • Unwanted or inherited gold items

What Determines the Value of Scrap Gold?

The value of your gold is usually based on three key things:

  • Weight: The heavier the gold item, the more gold content it may contain.

  • Purity: Gold is commonly marked as 9ct, 14ct, 18ct or 22ct.

  • Current gold price: Gold prices move daily, so offers can change with the market.

A reputable gold buyer should clearly explain how your offer has been calculated.
